    Signs of spring: Catkins
    I love catkins :) They are so nice and soft to touch - one of my favourite signs of spring!

    Nice, did you shoot this with your new Minolta 50mm f1.7?

    Thank you, guys :)

    Bob, TF is of course right, it's my beloved "Beercan", the lens with best bokeh of all :)

    Loupey, how spring coming along in your neck of the woods?

    Mette, you have increased my vocabulary.
    I had to look up catkin. Now I still don't know if this is a catkin or a bud in the picture with the blossom.:D
    This is a sun rose. The petals only last a few hours then they drop.

    Gorgeeous images, Norris :) Again, sorry for not replying earlier...

    I think what you have there is buds - I think catkin is only used for certain tree species? I'm not certain of the exact definitions!
